My deepest condolences on Fr. Pat's passing. He stayed with my Parents and I in Ireland in the 1970's and 1980's.
We always looked forward to his visits. My parents too have passed away but my Aunt , who worked with him in
Samoa and Trinidad is still with us.

We Heartily Missed you Rev Fr Kennedy. We Thank God for You, Rev Fr Patrick Kennedy in our Lives. You planted the seed of Faith in our Hearts, Trusting Jesus and honoring Holy Mother Mary since little in Samoa. I was really looking forward to surprise you when i come to our OCDS retreat in this November-18 -20, 2022 and tell you all since you left Apia, But heartbroken when Megan, Barbra and Mary passed me the Sad News on our Zoom meeting, that you passed on early Saturday Morning, so so sad Father, But *I believe Father *Holy Mother Mary came down to take You up on the Feast of Her Assumption*. We missed you Dearly Fr Kennedy, and wished so much to meet you again b4 you leave for Heaven. May be it was not *God's Will* to meet you again in person on this sinful world, so Mother Mary come down to take her *Dearly Priest Son up to Jesus* and for us to see you again in Heaven if we still be good. We believe you are in *Perpetual Kingdom with *Jesus and Mother Mary*, please Fr say Hello to our Mum and Dad, and Thanks to all Angels and Saints who Pray with us and for us, Thanks to the Holy Spirit and Mother Mary for Merciful Love for us, and Thank You Fr Kennedy with all our Love for Your Blessings and Love.
